Resume Part 2

Ok, now you know the basics your name, address and the following are optional things to put on the first page:

• Date of Birth
• Marital Status
• Drivers licence

You can include a summary of the type of position you are looking for however you need to constantly up date this depending on the position you are applying for. You can also include sub headings and a brief outline of your experience under those headings i.e. for a sale position you could include subheadings of Management, Sales, Marketing Research.

Next you would include your employment history from your most recent going back 10 years or a maximum of 6 positions which ever has the least number but provide the most detail i.e. if you have had over 6 positions in lease than 10 years only go back as far as 6 positions.
